RPInfo: Rensselaer's Information System

Institute to Test Full RPIAlert System May 1

All members of the campus community should note that the
Institute will conduct a brief test of the full RPIAlert system
-- including warning sirens -- at 2:55pm on Wednesday, May
1.

This will be a full test of the system, which will include
the campus siren/loudspeaker, a text alert to cell/smart
phones, an e-mail alert, and RPIAlert web page messaging
-- which automatically flows to Concerto and the information
channels on campus cable TV. This is a routine test to ensure
that all components of the system are operating properly. The
system is designed to be a critical information channel for all
students, faculty, staff and the surrounding community during a
real emergency.

As a reminder, all students, staff and faculty are
encouraged to sign up for the optional
RPIAlert texts for their cell phones and/or smart phones.
